All accounts concur in assuring us that the loss of the Austrians on the Bth exceeded 12,000, in kill ed, wounded, and petal:Suers. It is not General Fix- MANT, who is among the dead, but Field-Markhal WANTRELT, Commander in Chief of the Cavalry. " The army has followed up its advantages,---. Yesterday the enemy endeavoured to defend the heights of St. Daniels. The Vice Roy, at the head of the advanced guard, attacked him. All his positiOns were instantly taken by the bayonet, and the enemy fled in the greatest disorder. The result of thk; a6lion was the obtaining_ Of 15,000 prisoners, among whom are 26 Officers, one Colo ' nel, and bne Major. A wliole battalion of the regi. went of Riesky, with its standard, was surrounded by' , our Voltige4s, and compelled to surrender.

On the same day, a depot of great value to the king of Bavaria was removed to tonstattee, conveyed over the Lake, ate Berrna'din gen in 'boats.. The insurgents having received no tice of this, proceeded in parties of eight or nine hundred, under the command of the innkeeper Rutustnut.sa of Plandewy, across the lake of Bre gentez, and also by Sernedingen and Pberlingen.,,-- the first of these- places . they - rnade themselves masters of the Salt Magazi'nes.

L 4 ,N D 0 IV, EATURDAY, JUNG 2, 1609., The Pcspatehes from Sir ARTHUR WELLESLAY, the substance of tvhiclv we yesterday laid before our Rfaders, will appear in this evening's gazette. The intelligence from the Southern and Eastern parts of l'ortug4l :is important. General VICTOR has At length made' l'.movemeN ,info Portugal, with the inteniion, we ha-re no doubt, of effecting a diversion in fa,vour of SouLT, and facilitating his escape. It ,bas been suiTosed by some that Vicrott advanced either with the in tention of joining Sours, or of tak ing the advantage (.1 thes‘bsence of S t ir 4. Wawts h...., 111(1 ol` forward' to - wards Lisbon ; but we we see no grounds' yyhatever to justify this oriniop. Sour.T some time ago felt the danger of his situation, and applied to Nay and KRLLF.RM.SM for assistance, which -they were' unable to give him, and a letter was intercepted freak. KELLERMAN to SOULT, in which he - tells him that in the present postufe of affairs no assistance couki be given him. If any combined, plan . of operations had been arianged , between VICTOR and Sauur, the latter of course " would . not have tied in fte rapid manner he did, but would endeav,our to occupy the atten tion of the British army as long as he could, in order to favour the advance . ofNicrott. It has been "said, in a Paper that is always uncommonly sceptical upon the'subjea of 13rithih SOCCe3,e , , that " it would . - seem as if Sotrt.r's retreat had been a feint to draw the English after him." Certainly, if it was a feint, it was one of the most serious end extraordinary feints that ever was PraEtised. To abandon all the sick and wounded, to ,destroy all the artillery, am munition, „And baggage, and to sutler three de feats, merely by way „pf a feint,,is, we balieve; quite a new manoeuvre in military tar tics. We are not, we trust, in the habit of deceiving our Readers by extravagant et' 'over-sanguirte specula». tions, but we 'have no doubt that the March of Sir A. WELLESLEY to ;the southward Will induce Ge». neral VICTOR to return to his old quarterset Merida. The Accounts vary with respect to the amount of the force 'with which Vt Ginn has entered Portugal the highest estimate • does not inal4e it mote than 15,000 wen, a .force utterly unable to cope with the British army in Portugal. Sir ARTHUR, we believe, intended to be at Tomar on the 29th ult. whore be would probably collet the whole of Wei Arm, unless he should think it proper to send a column by casiel - Branco. Sit ALTIILR will be at the head of above 33,000 men; a force . so great, That, we again repeat, we are con vinced. VICTOR *ill not wait its approach.

There are also some details reipeaing the operations in the Tyrol, in which it'is acknowledged that brave Tyrolese bye obtained Most important advantages. The Public will be highly gratified in reading the ,Speech which Mr. Rois delivered in the 4-Imre of Commons hist night, because it is founded upon irre , frdgable proof, and is in dire& contraditlion to alt those gloomy and fallaciotis. statements which may . nattinilly be expeaed from a Pary t ho seem re solved, if pofsible; to overthrow ihe•present form, of Government; and also to tine allegations of another set of Men, i!ho, we hope, have nothing more in -view thtn the doWnfall of Ministers,, and the testa ration,, of themselves' to office. We .reft:rn to our 'Parliamentary Report for a comprehensive outline of Mr. Rose's excelleut, and, we are assured, accu rate statement of the improved condition of the coun try, with respea to retrenchment and ecenotny, Compared with what it was in those boasted time to which the Reformers invidiously allude;. In.. or der to excite qiiscontent,• disturbance, - and more mischievous feelings; but we beg leave to draW the attention of ' our 'Readers to a ,s(urnitary of the 'great adv;eitages yvhich the nation has :de rived from the zeal, the wisdom, the purge. vering industry, and disinterested patriotism of Mr. Pm. It appears, then, from, the stamen tof Mr: Rosa, that from 170 to t 799 the number of ()tikes abolished amounted to 878, and.t hat tlk consequent annual saving to' the public 1013 250;0001.

Yesterday a very, numerous and respeaahle Court of Proprietors wps held at the India House, to take into consideration a Resolution of the Court of Di retilors, to recall those young men who had obtained civil and military . appointments in India, through corrupt and improper agency. After the requisition for calling the Meeting had been ,read, Mr. SANSON rose and said, that no man could be more desirous than he was to put an end to the cord. rupt practices which had been diScovered to prevail in several instances, as to the procuring of these ap. pointments ; and the Direaors, as a body, were en. titled to great credit for the dispoiition which they bad sbewn to do so. But be must disapprove of the measure of recall; as one of great harshness and severity to :those young men, whose future pros peas would be ruined by it, though they were inno. cent, while the corrupt praalice.had been carried on entirely. by their parents, or guardians. He wished,. however, the Resolution of the Court of Direaors to he first rend, before he submitted any motion tb lb° Court. • The Resolutions were the i r' read, and were loahts effed :—That the Court of Direelors deem it neces. examples are necessa ry sale. to recall those persons who haie procureclouch that severe appointments by corrupt means, laion u to nd b e e r n a m c d o e mi or 1103 prevention of the praelice iniuture : that-in future it would be expedient that any parent or gitardiaa, sending out - ilia son in an official capacity, should give a bond the sum of 30001. at least, eo be for" 1640 in case it should appear that the appointment was obtained by corrupt means. The Resolution then specified the names of those young men Who Were to be recalled; among which we noticed those of Edward Jesse; Smith and Fry Magnin, writers; besides several Cadets, whose names appeared in the Report of the Committee of the House of Coln' mans. • Mr. GRANT (the Chairman) then said, that it fell to Its lot shortly to assign the reasons on w hi c h the . Court of Direates aeteg in adopting this. Resolution. He thought it kitiite evident, that if the corrupt praeliee of purchasing these appointments was pot strongly checked, and it a ready admission into the service of the CoMpAny was to be obtained by such sordid means, the hOtourable spirit which now ac" tuated the Company's servants' in the East must rapidly. expire, and a spirit of 'disgraceful rapacity would succeed, in oreer iodentnify them selves for the money sel►i - the putchase cost ibetn, Sue') a measure was also due, to the dignity. an d credit - of the Court of DivMyri, who, if they had bot'adopt ed the strongest meaus,fer seepressitig the pret o ' would have been wanting td their ()wit cliaraaer. -— a In the year 1799, there via; strong reason to, top e the existence of such praaices, and according l y the Direklots passed a vote,• declari% 0, that all con: sifted of it shoeld. forfeit their eppaintiaein g, be:cc-al/ed. This Resolution appeared, in the • ;due, and in thti Newspapers of. the difPretit cafe" talc of the three kingdoms.
